Did Zhuangzi create a 'Butterfly Dream'?
Zhuangzi is one of the foundational texts of Chinese literature and philosophy. Later interpretations of dreams in the Chinese literary tradition drew on this strange and radical story. Much discussion has focused on the nature of the atmosphere Zhuangzi created for this ‘butterfly dream’, and whether it was inherently optimistic or pessimistic.
What is a Butterfly Dream?
“The butterfly dream, in my interpretation, is an analogy drawn from our own familiar inner life of what cognitive process is involved in the process of self-transformation.
What is Butterfly Dream by Wei Wu Wei about?
It also reminds one of the works of Wei Wu Wei who, like Mr. Allison, uses the conceptual tools of western philosophy to present the ideas and insights of the nondual eastern traditions.

What is Chuang-Tzu's Butterfly Dream anecdote?

Robert Allison’s “Chuang-Tzu For Spiritual Transformation"
Employing the language of western philosophy, Robert Allison, in "Chuang-tzu for Spiritual Transformation: An Analysis of the Inner Chapters" (New York: SUNY Press, 1989), presents a number of possible interpretations of Chuang-tzu’s Butterfly Dream parable, and then offers his own, in which he interprets the story as a metaphor for spiritual awake

Buddhist Valid Cognition
What is at stake in this philosophical exploration of a Taoist parable is, in part, what in Buddhism is known as the tenets of Valid Cognition, which addresses the question: What counts as a logically-valid source of knowledge? Here’s a brief introduction to this vast and intricate field of inquiry: The Buddhist tradition of Valid Cognition is a fo
How to Learn to “See Nakedly”
So what does it mean, then, to do this? First, we need to become aware of our habitual tendency to clump together into one tangled mass what in reality are three distinct processes: 1. Perceiving an object (via the sense organs, faculties, and consciousnesses); 2. Assigning a name to that object; 3. Spinning off into conceptual elaboration about th
Similarities Between Taoism and Buddhism
